Chris Jaggers Atcha!
Charlie has known and played with Chris
Jagger since the '60s, when Chris set up a session for Charlie's
band at the time, 117, produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. But it wasn't
until the 1994 release of the album, Atcha,
(Sequel Records) that their joint writing, recording and performing
turned into a longstanding and fruitful musical partnership.
The latest album, Act of Faith (SPV) was produced
by Charlie and the band's ace guitarist Jim Mortimore and has been doing
well in Europe, Japan and beyond.
The band offers a compulsive and original
British cocktail of Zydeco and R'n' B influences. Besides Chris and
Charlie, Atcha! consists of Malcolm
Mortimore, Jim Mortimore and Paul Emile.
Zydo-funk! Act of Faith, like previous albums, contains several Jagger/Hart
originals, the band is rocking and this album features contributions
from Mick Jagger, David Gilmour
and Sam Brown.
In 2008 Atcha! has played memorable shows in Slovenia, as well as in
UK and Austria, and there are shows to come in Portugal, Italy, Scotland
and beyond. Chris and Charlie have also performed their two-man show
in Belgium and Paris, where they appeared on Direct 8's TNT
show.
